Assassin’s Creed Mirage update 1.0.2 patch notes: Deadly elevator fix, performance fixes & more

Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s first post-launch patch makes a variety of improvements and fixes, including addressing a bizarre issue where Basim could be killed by elevators.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is finally out, allowing players to explore Basim’s experience in 9th-century Baghdad. The game is overall being received well, but unsurprisingly, it has some things to sort out.

The game has received its first post-launch update with 1.0.2. This patch addresses a variety of issues and makes some additional improvements to Mirage’s gameplay and performance on consoles and PC.

Here’s everything Assassin’s Creed Mirage update 1.0.2 changes.

What’s changed in the Assassin’s Creed Mirage update 1.0.2 Patch Notes

The patch note that stands out most here is that, previously, elevators would kill Basim. This is obviously a huge problem in an Assassin’s Creed game, where players often have to rely on lifts to get around.

Ubisoft does not give any further detail on what the exact issue in Mirage was, but at least players jumping into the game now don’t have to worry that any elevator ride could lead to Basim’s demise.

Aside from that, there are some gameplay fixes, largely to rewards that would not be awarded properly. The update also some improvements to Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s visuals, stability, NPC behavior, and more.
